Also, I have included some recent success stories we have achieved for some of our clients which we are very proud of.

Some Things to Do (and Some Things Not to Do) Following an Auto Accident:

1. Call the police;
2. Tell the police officer(s) exactly how the accident occurred;
3. Be careful what you say to the other driver; keep things to an absolute minimum;
4. If you have a camera in your car, photograph the accident scene and damage to both vehicles (or as soon as practically possible);
5. Obtain medical treatment as soon as possible;
6. Contact your insurance company immediately to report the accident;
7. DO NOT talk with anyone who calls you from the other driver’s insurance company;
8. Do not panic if the police report is inaccurate as to how the accident occurred;
9. Contact an attorney immediately if you were injured in the accident;
10. Keep records of all of your medical treatment.

Here Are Some Elements of a Slip and Fall Case:

1. Good photographs were taken which show the area of the slip and fall accident was negligently maintained;
2. There is an incident report documenting the accident;
3. Immediate medical attention is sought;
4. The injuries, as well as the amount of the medical bills, are substantial;
